• Egerton-Rothesay is supportive, specialist and reassuringly child focused, with additional support and a caring atmosphere central to its identity.

• A potentially strong fit for families looking for a specialist setting that combines independent-school scale with a clearly SEND-focused mission and a caring environment.

Egerton-Rothesay School's admissions process is structured, careful and shaped around whether the school can meet a child's specific profile of need. For families considering a specialist SEND school, that emphasis on fit is exactly what they should want.

Scholarships and bursaries are not really the point here. The main consideration is whether the school's specialist support, environment and expertise justify confidence for a child who needs more than mainstream can easily provide.

• The school does not publish bursary entry points, so families should ask directly.
• The school does not publish bursary award levels, so families should ask directly.
• Families should contact the school directly to ask whether any bursary, hardship support or discretionary fee assistance is available.

The picture is clearer than at some specialist schools because the school is explicit about the needs it supports and how to make initial contact. Families should still ask targeted questions about therapies, staffing, behaviour support and outcomes, but the starting point is a sensible one.
